Ear Pressure Pose - Karnapidasana is the Pose of the Week

Sunday June 25, 2006
Karnapidasana is a nice transition between Shoulderstand and Plow. (Look at the full Inversions Sequence to see where this pose fits.) I like how the pressing of the knees against the ears shuts out surrounding sounds, giving a brief experience of Pratiyahara (the fifth of yoga's eight limbs).
